NBC: Dropped storylines


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I have not watched in a long time, so help me out here...

Isn't Epig still a disgusting philandering moron? Who cares what he thinks of Gwen since he's been cheating on her with Teresa for years? Who is this pig to judge anyone?

And of course the Law of Common Decency dictates that Gwen would want to assist, if she could, a woman being mawled, but where was Teresa's decency? Didn't she agree to have sex with that monster to get Epig back?

But then you have to look at the history of the two "women", and ask yourself, "Why in the sam hell would Gwen assist Teresa with anything"???

No, Theresa did not agree to have sex with Alistair. She never agreed to anything more than accepting dinner from him and moving into the mansion to be near her daughter. It's been stated more than once that Alistair raped her, and that if she had gone to the police with Ethan she'd make sure that she had nothing.

It matters what he thinks of Gwen because he's got it in his head that Gwen's some innocent victim when she's not. The breakup ended on Gwen's terms, which was a load of [!@#$%^&*] because Gwen has two HUGE lies over her head that she got away with.

I'm sorry, but I do not see how you can justify Gwen walking up to the door, hearing Theresa scream, then go back to her own bedroom to have sex with Ethan. To make matters even worse, she laughs about it with her mother then subsequently pulls a Sheridan by gaslighting her and claiming that she was lying about it. How can you make what Gwen did okay?

Teresa DID agree to have sex with Al, and she reneged. She has a right, but we are talking about Al. It was on your screen too. And Teresa also agreed to be his ho if Al would assist in getting her back with Epig. That was onscreen as well. Remember she had on that chicken negligee? She was getting ready to hook him up until Epig was poisoned.

Again, who cares what a rat bastard cheating pig thinks?

I am not justifying Gwen MINDING HER OWN BUSINESS. I think both are disgusting, and Epig is not worth all the humiliation and mutilation both have gone through to get him.

There is a website that has all the transcripts. After the "rape", Teresa told Al she would do ANYTHING to get back Epig. Think back to how it all began. Teresa and Al were outside the mansion, and he was pawing her. She tried to get away as he told her what she needed to do to get back with Epig. Teresa was disgusted at first, but she eventually came around. She was going to have sex with Al, but she could not go through with it. That is when Al took what she promised.

Riddle me this, Batman, how did Teresa get to Al's room? He did not use force until after she changed her mind...

There you have it.

And you have my apologies because the last thing I meant to do was have a long drawn out debate about the garbage show I no longer watch. It just bugs me when I seen convenient "truths" in posts...

I won't bug you anymore about this...

Gwen was not just "minding her own business". She was letting a rape occur, especially knowing who was being attacked. She specifically turned up the radio in her bedroom so that Ethan wouldn't hear Theresa screaming for help. She went to the door and said "Theresa must be in trouble" then went back into her room to have sex with Ethan so that he wouldn't come to her help. That's not "minding her own business" no matter how much you try to spin it.

Theresa never had any intention of having sex with Alistair. She has said point blank that she wasn't going to sleep with him from the get go. Every time Al tried making a move on her, she pushed him away. That's not exactly someone who's about to have consensual sex and then reneg at the last second.

Theresa wasn't in Alistair's room. She was in her own room and Al barged in to attack her. She was going to LEAVE at that moment when he raped her.

You need to go back and watch that episode because you clearly do not know what you're talking about. Stop trying to make up stuff that didn't happen so you can justify Gwen's behavior.

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road  
    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!

    • In case it is of interest to anyone here, I have digital copies (computer files, mp4 etc.) of all of the episodes. And, besides having the files they are all up on my usual video hosting site, acct name: shallotpeel, channel it is in: Primetime Soaps and file names like  Flamingo Road S1E15 Hurricane Flamingo Road was a primetime soap on NBC by Lorimar Productions. 2 seasons. 1980-1982. Morgan Fairchild, Barbara Rush. Developed by Rita Lakin.   
    • Arguably DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been brilliant lately & definitely was last week. But, here I am with nitpick & technicalities. This was the only misstep but it was just a stupid thing that should have been caught. Deidre Hall as Marlena has this one problematic line, "It didn't matter how many identities you had, I always knew exactly who you were, you were the man who saved my life." - Marlena, DAYS, 6-2-25 Unfortunately the flashback closest to it was when Marlena was on the phone, terrified because she thought he was Stefano. Yes, it's true that the line is not accurate. There were many times when she did not feel the way she is claiming because of whatever was going on in story with his 'retconned to hell & back' identity & origin story. Does it keep the whole week from being called excellent? Nope.

    • I decided this primetime soap deserved it's own thread as the Primetime soaps thread is very cluttered and why shouldn't NBC's Lorimar soap mot have a chance to shine? In doing a deeper dive into the second season ratings I was surprised to see that FR actually had an uptick in the ratings when NBC moved it to 9pm Tuesdays beginning March 82. I'd always assumed this move was a desperate one as NBC were running short of programming and had given up on the show,deciding to let the final episodes play out and be hammered by 3's Company  and CBS Movie. But the numbers paint a different story. In it's 10pm slot up against Hart to Hart, which regularly finished in the Top 20, FL premiered in 53rd place and placed in the 40's and 50's as the season continued. But come January 82 the numbers surged a little now moving into the 40's hitting #43 in Feb. Hart to Hart was #11 Then in March Bret Maverick was moved to 8pm with FR @9. First week 16th March FR #47 15.1/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Not great but #2 in it's timeslot March 23 FR #44 15.6/25 3's Company #4 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #33 So even with a stronger movie on CBS FR's numbers went up. March 30 FR #31 16.6/26 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #56 Best rating/position yet Tues April 6 pre empted Tues April 14 FR #36 16.0/26 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #11 CBS Movie #59 Maintaining previous week's numbers Tues April 21 FR #33 15.6/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Numbers down a little (reflecting general spring downturn) but best ranking of the season so far Tues April 28 FR #35 15.1/23 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #6 CBS Movie #42 Tues May 4 FR #27 15.2/24 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #4 CBS Movie #41 Season finale and highest position of the season. Looking at those numbers I wonder why NBC cancelled the show? They had very few hits and here was a show that was holding it's own and moving up in the rankings in a tougher timeslot. And being a serial, the storylines could continue to build the following season. And I'm sure the desirable W18-49 demo was good. Some might argue that CBS were shower weaker movies, but even so, soap viewers are pretty loyal. I guess Grant Tinker arrived at NBC and wanted a classier look but there was room for FR on the schedule. I mean, the following season Knight Rider,Powers of Matthew Star and the A Team arrived so there was still room for more populist fare. Flamingo could have stayed at 9pm-the replacement Gavilan bombed (surely FR would have done better} or moved back to 10pm. The following Jan NBC had a hit with A Team Tues 8pm. Had Flamingo followed it, it might have really taken off. As it was they tried Bare Essence, which flopped. Oh well,it was not to be...    
    • Always, in every way, Cass/Wally/Felicia foundational to my viewing. And, I think if we look at the aftermath of the disastrous 90 minute show that we find too many pockets of some kind of lost time at the show plus way too much of change-ups in exec & writing leadership and of course we also reach the first time it becomes notable that NBC wants to get rid of the show so they can put a new soap they own in the timeslot.
